{{ Form::text('username', null, array('placeholder'=>'Username' )); }}

This works for Laravel 4!!

Answer 3

In case somebody wonders how this should work for a password field:

{{ Form::password('password',  array('placeholder'=>'Password')) }}

Answer 4

Been a while since this was updated but with Former for Laravel the way to do this would be:

Former::text('field')->placeholder('langfile.path.to.placeholder.text')))

The lang file would be called langfile.php with the array containing:

<?php

    return array (  
        'path.to.placeholder.text' => 'Some Placeholder Text.'
    );

Answer 5

Use:

{{ Form::text('txtUsername', '',array('class'=>'input', 'placeholder'=>'Username')) }}
